Need help attaching a custom head to a body

[Hellion]

I have one of the ridiculously awesome MikeTek Punisher heads, I'm trying to attach it to a HT Noland body. I know a lot of folks have this headsculpt and I was wondering what the best way to attach it to the body would be. I've included some pics of what I'm dealing with, they are pretty lousy quality (since for some reason beyond my knowledge the iPad can't take a decent photo worth a damn). This is my first custom so this may be common knowledge already for most of you.

The awesome headsculpt...

The inner workings....

You can fill it a little with hot glue or blue tack. I usually use tissue paper and bulk up the neck pin a little before putting the head on so it fits more snug.

Im a big fan of magnets. I would pull the dumbbell and glue in magnets.

Thanks guys, lots of different methods to consider here.

Hellion, that one was painted/drilled by me, the hole you see is the exact size of a Hot Toys plug, take a plug out of a spare True Type head and insert it into the hole, plug 'n play.

I'm using the HT Noland body and the peg seems way too big for the predrilled hole.
Still the most impressive paint job I've seen yet Ski!

Thanks man.

The hole WILL BE bigger, you have to attach a HT plug inside the hole and then snap it onto the peg.

I'm confused. Like I said this is my first custom so I'm not familiar with all the available parts.

Not to bring this thread back from the dead but I'm still stumped. Okay so now I have a truetype neck plug but it seems Waaay too big to fit the predrilled hole. Do I need to heat up the peg or something beforehand? I'm sure I'm missing the obvious here.

My head!! Good to see it again!

Actually, the part Ski was referring to is the one that is actually attached inside a true type head. I think its glued in, so may be difficult to get out. I know I damn well tried

I'm sure someone has a trick to do it.

It's an awesome headsculpt/paint job! Figures I got the Truetype body that DOESNT have a headsculpt included! ah well, I actually have a decent idea on how to attach it, I'll give it a try this weekend.
